PS :: If I forgot anyone's ship, please forgive me...
Anyway...
My votes...
1st place = Slight, "Devourer Class Heavy Fighter". I love the alien look of this one. As near perfect as you can get in my opinion.
2nd place = Santuria, "Low Flight Heavy Class Bombadier: LFHCB Land Destructor". I really like the shading and lines of this ship...Excellent stuff!
3rd place = Tonypa, "Plasma 3". I think this would look excellent in any pixel art based space shoot em up.

Wow! All really great entries = hard to choose a top three.

3rd goes to:

Tonypa's Torpedo 2.

For a simple, clean and in my opinion original ship. I love the retro vibe I get from it.

2nd place is awarded to:

PRadvan's Heavy Assault Fighter.

I like all PRadvan's ships, but loved this one cause it reminded me of the ship design from Aliens. Gives the feeling of a very gritty mechanical machine.

And 1st place (drum roll.....):

Slight's Devourer Class Heavy Fighter.

I adore the shading on this ship, and slights style creates really amazing alien ships. They will make perfect boss and enemy sprites.

Very hard choice.

3rd place - McLelun
Really simple, but yet i cant see anything that could be added. Nice style too, looks like a toy :)

2nd place - Nick Das "Chenoa IV"
Very pro looking, great shading, and i love the electricity.

1st place - Slight "Devourer Class Heavy Fighter"
No competition here. This is simply perfect. Soo detailed and the shading is awsome.

Great work all. The decision was very difficult. There were at least 2 other ships which i almost put as 2nd and 3rd. TheHumanChimp should be most proud though, a lot of work obviously went into that. I would have voted for you, but i think that you might have just done a bit too much shading. Very nice though ;)

Ali

1. Dominicaninja's "Red Fighter"
2. Dominicaninja's "Ion Phalanx"
3. Pointguard's "The Pheonix"


Why does everyone type my name with a capital "C"?.. I have my name everywhere like "Ironclaw", on my site, forum, letters.. everywhere. but still, when someone send me a message, chats with me - whatever, they always type "IronClaw". very few people type it right.. oh well..

1st Missile Frigate - Scorpion Class Fighter - it is sexy, isnt.
2nd Mclelun - NoName Toy SpaceShip - it is my only entry, i must support it myself
3rd PRadvan - Missile Frigate - very oldskool look, remind me of old computer games.

1st :Nick Das, "Chenoa IV" : http://board.flashkit.com/board/

2nd:Dominicaninja, "Red Fighter" :
http://board.flashkit.com/board/

3rd:EgoAnt, "Alka Gavel" :
http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/1...fighter0jv.gif

I choosed the Chenoa IV and the Red Fighter beause of their colors that are incredible and the Alka Gavel beacause of its overall looking :)

1. McLelun's unnamed - clean and simple, great design, good depth, interesting method.
2. Dominicaninja's "Ion Phalanx" - again for design and depth.
2. Nic Das' "Chenoa V" - beautiful shading, interesting design.

Hard to pick only 3, there's a lot of good ships up there.

OMG WTF?!?!?!?!?!?

why hasn't anyone voted for my masterpiece?!?!?!? you disgust me ;)

ok,

1) "Red Fighter" - Just looks brilliant.
2) "Crimson Mercury SE-C" - kinda cartoony and sweet :)
3) "Multipurpose Utili-Pod" - really like the shading

1st EgoAnt -Alka Gavel
2nd Slight - Ship A
3rd Pointguard - Small Stealth Fighter

They're all great though. I so meant to get my thumb out of my arse and submit one, but laziness prevailed...

If I wanted to use any of these in a game would it be the usual non-commercial credited thing or is there anything else?

1st Nick Das - "Chenoa IV" Quiet alien looking and nicely shaded.
2nd Slight - "Devourer Class Heavy Fighter" Real nice done, reminds me of wcIII.
3rd Dominicaninja - "Mantra Patrol" Great design and shading.

3rd place:
me: Ion Phalanx: I think my idea came out just as how I originally thought it, and I like the way the colors worked out.

2nd place:
slight: Ship A: Very nicely detailed and reminds me of a creature from the Metroid universe.

1st place:
slight: Devourer Class Heavy Fighter: :yikes: My jaw literally dropped when I saw this and I am still amazed at the attention to detail. Once again I thank slight for sharing some of his pixel drawing methods with us.

:thumbsup: Great job everyone I'm impressed at the amount of different ships y'all were able to come up with. If I had a 4th pick it would be Nick Das' Chenoa IV, really love that one too.

3nd place:
EgoAnt:
"Crimson Mercury SE-C"

2nd place:
Nick Das: "Chenoa IV"

1st place:
slight: "Devourer Class Heavy Fighter"

3rd - Tonypa, Torpedo 2. Simple and original, wouldn't look out of place in a game.

2rd - McLelun. Smooth, nice and clean.

1st - Sligh, shipA. Intricate design yet highly recognisable and very clear.

Kudos to all. :)

It's such a hard decision but here it goes:
3rd place: Dominicaninja "Ion Phalanx". Like the shading style and the ship's original shape.
2nd place: Pointguard "Small Stealth Fighter". I like it :)
1st place: Slight "Devourer Class Heavy Fighter". Just a piece of art. (I liked all of Slight's ships but it would have been unfair to vote only for them)
And.. honourable mention: TheHumanChimp "USB". Very good use of shadows and the most original of all lol.

1. Dominicaninja. "Ion Phalanx"
2. Ifritt. "Multipurpose Utili-Pod"
3. XPloder. "SpaceJunk"

3rd - Tonypa - Torpedo 2: Just love how the two missiles are so much larger than the ship.

2nd - Slight - Ship A: Just love the way it looks, awesome.

1st - Dominicaninja - Red Fighter- Loved it from the moment I saw it, wonderful!

Great job all!

3rd: McLelun's fighter, simple but very cool.

2nd: Nick Das: Chenoa IV, I love the way the energy plays off the hull

1st: A tie between the HumanChimp's USB, because it would win in a fight, and Slight's Devourer Class Heavy Fighter, because your enemy would be too busy saying, "whoa, what the f%$& is that?" to fight back.

Ok I didnt enter the contest because well I suck at art in general but im guessing im allowed to vote so here goes:

3. Tonypa's Plasma 3

I really like the unusual colour code

2. Slight's Ship A

Im a big fan of dragons and well it looks like one

1. Slight's Devourer Class Heavy Fighter

Do I need a reason?
Ok I peed my pants when I saw this.
Good enough? :)

I think everyone did a great job and if I ever want any pixel art done I need look no further than the people in this thread.

Great job. :thumbsup:

My votes...

3rd Place-Dominicaninja's Ion Phalanx

Cool Design, Awesome name. Really close between this and Red Fighter.

2nd Place-Nick Das's Chenoa IV

SWEET ship. I thought that one had first for sure until...

Drumroll...

1st Place-Slight's Devourer Class Heavy Fighter (of course!)

Holy. Effing. Cow. This ship blew me away. Looks like slight could give DayDream a run for his money!

My vote would go to :

1 ) Tonypa ("Torpedo 2") : I like the concept of it, how it is supposed to work, and once again, that skull i see in the middle gives it extra sense for me

2) Slight ("Ship A") : I like the weirdness of it, and the almost organic feel (but not too much) to it : definitely an Alien ship !

3) McLelun ("no name") : I can see how I would animate it : the curved wings could gather and enclose the ship for a extra protection, a tubular shield around the ship : for me the wings HAVE to be mobile - It has a lot of fun / gameplay potential, and is definitely slick and sober

But, overall, good job all : this was a good idea, hope to see more contests like this, and more open-source ressources for people to toy with !

Thumbs up !

3. McLelun's no name, looks awesomely sweet with the cool colors, reminds me of shooters.

2. Tonypa's Plasma 3, looks like it would fit in an arcade shooter you would have played in the late 80s.

1. Dominicaninja's Read Fighter. i love it with all of my heart. all of your stuff is so sweet, and this one is by far my fav.

i liked slight's, but he is so good, it almost wouldn't fit in a game. plus, i mean, come on, he's a natural.

i say for next competition: bad guy side view ship on water!

1st- Slight's Devourer Class Heavy Fighter. *speechless
2nd- McLelun ("no name"). There was just something about this ship that stuck out to me. Very good design.
3rd- Dominicaninja, "Red Fighter". I just liked the design and how the colors all worked together.

3rd = Dominicaninja - "Red Fighter" I like it. Very classic design.
2nd = Pugger - "Tiny" - It's so bloody cute!
1st = Nick Das - "Chenoa IV" - I kept going back to this design over and over again... Can't pick out why I like it, but I DO like it.

They all are excellent! Kudos to everyone who entered.

I almost wish I entered my Cho Anki tribute ship...but I'm sure it would started a bunch of naughty rumours about me. :p

1st - Nick Das - Chenoa IV
2nd - Slight - Devourer Class Heavy Fighter
3rd - Tonypa - Torpedo 2

They were all really good, but Chenoa IV stuck out to me also.

3. Dominicaninja - Mantra Patrol(scary)

2. Slight - Devourer Class Heavy Fighter(sexy ship indeed)

1. McLelun - No name ship(simplicity, yet razor blade sharpness IMHO)

and all the other entries are top-notch too :)

1. Slight's 'Ship A' - By far my favorite ship. Rendering is near-perfect and the design is awesome.

2. Tonypa's 'Torpedo 2' - The design is very unique; very game-suited.

3. McLelun's 'No Name Given' - Clean, smooth and attractive.

1. Slight's Devourer Class Heavy Fighter - Brilliant. Very menacing!

2. Dominicaninja's Ion Phalanx - I like the greek reference here, both in name and style

3. McLelun's (No Name Given) - Smart and simple.

1st Slight - "Devourer Class Heavy Fighter" - This is the style i like and want to see in games.
2nd Slight - Ship A - Thanks to this ship i learned some tricks in pixelart. And the ship itself is beautiful as well.
3rd Nick Das - "Chenoa IV" - Really, excellent shading.

4th TheHumanChimp - "USB" :rolleyes:

1) Slight: Devourer Class Heavy Fighter
2) Slight: Ship A
3) Dominicaninja: Red Fighter

Sweet. I think they were all kick-arse, but a couple really stood out:

3rd:
Slight...
"Devourer Class Heavy Fighter"

This must have taken a long time to create...very original looking if you ask me.


2nd:
Pradvan...
"Mantra Patrol"

This one seems smooth and stylish. It almost looks 3D.

1st:
Nick Das...
"Chenoa IV"

This is my favorite. I love the shading and colors. Ooohh, it’s also got some electric action goin' on there. Basically seamless.

Good work.

Just a quick spelling correction, My fourth entry is called "Manta Patrol" (like a manta ray), not Mantra Patrol. pointguard accidently mispelled it.

Alright keep those votes coming people.

when is it done?

and i see some errors in peoples votes.

yeh, i think there is a flaw in the voting system as i am not winning....;)
